Fed up with the teasing he gets from popular girl Hikari, he decides to change himself and study hard. But for some reason he can’t stop thinking about Hikari, who’s off at the beach while he’s at a mountain study camp. So what will he do when Hikari suddenly shows up at his bedroom window in the mountains?
